Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Chang’s transformation from a seemingly passive driver in Episode 2 to an active, violent aggressor in Episode 3 parallels his literal and thematic role as a puppet master, reflecting his grim function as Weng-Chiang’s grotesque enforcer."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both episodes frame Chang’s agency through transportation and manipulation: Episode 2 shows him steering Weng-Chiang’s desperate search, while Episode 3 shows him steering his own desperate flight, both times driven by a puppet master dynamic—first as a servant, then as an active aggressor.
